Curtis is a great host. Been there many times over the years with both friends and family. The design is truly special- it has a 'real' cabin feel with all the modern amenities tucked in there. The outdoor gas fire pit is nothing short of brilliant.

Great family get away, room for everyone

Our stay at this massive cabin was really enjoyable. Lots of space for everyone to have a comfy room/bed and the ping pong table was excellent. Staying in Truckee/Donner in the summer is all about the lake and access only takes about 5 minutes down the road to the state park.
